“Makaropafadzwa imi mune nzara zvino, nokuti muchagutiswa. Makaropafadzwa imi munochema zvino, nokuti muchaseka.
“Makaropafadzwa, kana vanhu vachikuvengai, vachikudzingai, vachikuzvidzai, vachirasa zita renyu sechinhu chakashata, nokuda kwoMwanakomana womunhu. Farai nezuva iro, mupembere, nokuti tarirai, mubayiro wenyu kudenga mukuru; nokuti madzibaba avo akaitira vaporofita zvakadaro. Asi mune nhamo imi vapfumi, nokuti mapiwa kunyaradzwa kwenyu. Mune nhamo imi makaguta zvino, nokuti muchava nenzara. Mune nhamo imi munoseka zvino, nokuti muchachema nokuungudza.
“Mune nhamo kana vanhu vose vachitaura zvakanaka pamusoro penyu, nokuti madzibaba avo akaitira vaporofita venhema zvakadaro.
